Casting The Net Episode 52:The Polka King

from Casting The Net · host Casting The Net Podcast

This week, we're talking about the unbelievably true story of Jan Lewan, as played by Jack Black in The Polka King. The film tells the story of Lewan's rise to fame as the Polka King of Pennsylvania, and his eventual downfall when he's convicted of running a Ponzi scheme through his local gift shop. This is definitely a case of the truth being stranger, and funnier, than fiction!
